Andalucia

I have been super busy but am excited about hanging my show at Core Gallery tomorrow. Well, hanging most of it; one piece is giving me a bit of sass but I should be done with that tonight. The opening will be this Thursday during Pioneer Square Artwalk.

To Have & Have Not

 

I have been putting the finishing touches on the last few pieces and am now moving into all the prep work for my June show at Core Gallery. To Have & Have Not examines the nature of our relationships and interactions using repeated iconography and historical allegory. The show opens during First Thursday Artwalk and will run throughout the month. Stay tuned for information on a second opening/artist reception.

Eh, Las Bas

"Eh, Las Bas", 2011, Caudled Milk

Must I Paint You a Picture?

It's bad timing and me
We find a lot of things out this way
And there's you
A little black cloud in a dress.
The temptation
To take the precious things we have apart
To see how they work
Must be resisted for they never fit together again.

It took a short walk and a talk
To change the rules of engagement
While you searched frantically for reverse and them claiming
That virtue never tested is no virtue at all
And so I lost my ignorance
And now the bells across the river chime out your name
I look across to them again.



All your friends said come down
It will never fly
And on that imperfect day
We threw it all away
Crisis after crisis, with such intensity
This would never happen if we lived by the sea.

Cards On The Table Time

Mirror in the bathroom recompense
For all my crimes of self defense.
Cures you whisper make no sense
drift gently into mental illness.
